To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, GEORGE E. HEID- a citizenvk of the UnitedStates,resid ing at Quincy, in 'the county of Adams, State'of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Cooking Range or Stove; and 1 do hereby declare the followingV to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled -in the art to which it appertains to make and use the'same.

The invention relates to cooking ranges or stoves and has for its' object to locate the fire box, oven and flues so that the width of the stove may be reduced to a minimum, thereby providing a stove wherein the dimensions of the lire box, oven and liues size and dimensions as the present ranges now in use, and providing a structure which vmay be easily yshifted from a coal to a gas range. f

A further object is 'to wherein the heat vfrom the fire box is 'carf ried by fines, which fiues encircle the oven and the heat passes rearwardly after encircling the oven finto the chimney or stove pipe, at a point above the oven and sub stantially centrally thereof.

A further object of the invention is to provide an oven for a stove, said oven having a yflue extending around the same, said flue terminating ata point above the oven and dischargino into the-chimney flue, and a damper so disposed that the heat from the fire box may ybe allowed to 'pass around the oven or directly 'into the lchimney flue.

With the above and other objects in view the invention resides in' the combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter set forth shown in the drawings, described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention may be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

1n the drawings l Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view through the stoveand oven.

Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1 designates the body of the stove, which vcomprises the end walls 2 and side walls 3. The body 1 rests upon a suitable base 4:,

said body 1 being provided with a bottom forming provide a stove damper 26-'being so 5, thereby forming a rectangular chamber. One of the walls 2 is provided with a depression 6, in which depression a water tank 7 is disposed. A top 8 is disposed on kthe top of the body 1,v which top may be provided with any number of openings for thereception of cooking utensils, or ifso desired, a gas burner tray may be disposed on the top by eliminating the top 8.

An oven 9 is provided, said-'oven being formed by thewalls 10, 11, 12 and 13, the walls 13 extending upwardly thereby forininganzoven with an apex 14, which apex 14 is substantially centrally `disposed with relation to the oven. The oven walls 4are spaced from the walls 2 of the side of the body member `and the bottom v5, thereby fines 15, V16 and 17. A wall-18 is provided, thereby forminga :flue 19 and 20, said flues 15,16, 17, 19 and 20 forming a flue extending completely around the oven and terminatino lsubstantially at a central point above saidy oven.' The wall 18 is provided with an upwardly extending wall 21, the upper end of which 'extends slightly inwardly and terminates in the horizontal vportion 22, said horizontal portion being provided vwith a downwardly curved wall 23, which wall23 is provided with an openf ing 24, thel wall 23 hasv its lowerend secured or. otherwiseengaging -`the apex 14 of the oven9. A damper 26 is pivoted on lthe wall 23 and is 4adapted to be thrown in and out vof engagement with said wall, thereby opening and closing the opening 24.' said positionedthat when it is in open position it will engage the wall 2. as at 27, thereby preventing the passage of heat around the oven and compelling the heat to pass through the opening 24 into the flue opening 2S at the rear of the stove, however during this positioning of the damper for direct draft it will be seenthat the heat as it passes from the fire box 29 will come in contact with the wall of the tank 7, thereby heating the water no matter whether damper is positioned for direct draft or not.

A chamber 3() is formed between the walls 18 and 2,`which chamber may be utilized as an ash pit if so desired, an ash pan 31 being represented as disposed below said chamber. A clean-out opening 32 is provided in the rear wall of the body member 1, said opening being in communication with the Hue 17 lthereby providing means whereby access tothe Hue maybe gained for cleaning the same.

When it is desired to use the oven for baking or other purposes the heat leavesl theHre box 29 and passes through the passa es 0r Hues 33, 34, 15, 16, 17, 19 and 20, fo lowing the directions of the full line arrows a and passing through 'the Hue open- `ing 28 to the chimney. VBy thev positioning of the Hue opening 28 above the top of the oven it will be seen that a complete circuit is completed around theoven walls, and at the same time the heat will come in contact with the'top cover of the stove ,for its entire width, thereby allowing the utilization of the same for cooking as well as baking, also that the heat will come in'contact with the v Vwater tank 7.

2O v dotted line position 35 as shown in Fig. 1

When lthe damper 26` is moved to the the heatfrom the fire Ybox-29 will follow the directions of the dotted line arrows b. During its course under these conditions the heat will also come in contact with the under surface of the stove ton for its entire length, 1 and also will contact with one ofthe walls Y vfrom the walls forming .the oven thereby of the tank 7, then be deflected by the damper 26 through the opening 24, and thence through the Hue opening 28, which iscalled a direct draft. It willbe seen that the oven will be Vuniformlyheated and that what' heat is lost toward the end of the Hues aroundrthe oven will be compensated forby the location of the Hre box, from which heat willl be radiated through theV forming a Hue around said ovenof substantlally the same contour as Vthe oven, one of said spaced walls having an upwardly and 'inwardly :inclined wall Vternn'natingy in a horizont-alV wall, saidY horizontal wall terminating in a downwardly extending wall, the lower end of vwhichengages theapex of the oven, a damper controlled opening in said downwardly extending wall, a Hre box located above theapex of the oven and to one Vside thereof, a discharge Hue located between the upwardly and inwardly extending wall and the downwardly extending damper wall, and means whereby said damper-maybe moved so that the heat may either be forced to pass` around the oven or deHected through the damper controlled opening and into the discharge Hue opening as desired.`

2. A cooking range or stove comprising an oven, walls spaced from the walls forming the oven, thereby formino a Hue around said oven of substantially the same contour as the oven, one of said spaced walls having an upwardly and horizontally extendbox, the horizontal wall terminating at a.

point substantially above the center of the;

tally extending wall, a discharge Hue located between -tlieupwardly and-horizontally ex'- tending wall and the downwardly vextending damper wall, and means wherebysaid damper may be moved for forcing the heat to pass around the oven to the discharge Hue or direct to said vdischarge Hue ata point above the oven. Y
